Agree.
It's unfortunate that it wouldn't change, because the provider would need to know about both the PA allocation and the EID assignment. Effectively, it'sdouble the hassle factor.
The provider doesn't have to know about EID-prefixes. It can filter and uRPF on the locator address that is part of it's own block.
